2016 Publication Critique Results

Congratulations to the KEMPA publications on the results of their critiques.  We encourage all KEMPA members to send in their publications in the spring for judging.  We recommend that advisers and students use the results in the fall to guide your goal-setting for the coming year.  This is valuable feedback that will improve your publication.
